Mr. Liu Xiaoming, Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland, paid a visit to XTBG on August 29. His tour within the Garden was accompanied by Prof. Li Qingjun, deputy director of XTBG.

Seeing the towering tree (Shorea wangtianshuea) planted in the Commemorative Plant Garden in 1984 by Prince Philip of Britain, the then Chairman of the World Wide Fund, Mr. Liu Xiaoming showed much interest. The tree is a witness of the friendship between China and UK.
